How To Setup And Use AME For Purchase Requisition Approvals

[Hassanmalik]

Purchase Requisitions can be routed for approval using the AME Approval Management Engine.  This document describes how to setup AME for use with requisition approvals, and shows how a requisition approval list is built based on the AME setup.  Approvers in the AME based approver list are assigned to the requisition based on the AME rules setup for the Purchase Requisition Approval transaction.  Similar setup can be done for Requester Change Order Approval and for Internal Requisition Approval, although those are not specifically covered in this whitepaper. 

The screenshots provided are based on 11i.AME.B, and some of the navigation details are specific to 11i.AME.B.  However, most of the details provided are applicable to 11i.AME.A and higher including R12.Assign AME Roles and Responsibilities AME responsibilities in 11i.AME.A are assigned directly to the users.  However, In R12 or 11i.AME.B and higher, AME responsibilities are assigned indirectly to users through roles.  The roles are assigned to the users by the SYSADMIN user using the User Management responsibility.  Once the roles are assigned, the AME responsibilities are automatically available to the users without specifically assigning the AME responsibilities to the users.
